This coming from someone who finds it relevant to post a piece on how Republicans cant appreciate modern art or abstract art because they like to be told what to think?

Take heart...Some day the opinion of the so called art experts may change and this abstract type art may be considered crap. I will gladly let them spend their time an money admiring this stuff as long as it it keeps them occupied and away from me. Art is all subjective anyway.

Which is why its so telling that you will dance all over the topic rather than get to the heart of the argument. Which, again, is................that the highly regarded professionals who kicked off this childs career admit that they were fooled. And they would not have shown her work if they had all the facts up front.
I dont need to be a professional art critic when I have the confession of THE professional art critic who started the whole mess in the first place saying he was fooled.

this is not actual art, this is a little girl playing around making things "pretty." There is no depth in this at all. She doesn't have a clue what she's doing other than dipping a paint brush and shaking it or making pretty lines of blue and red. Go ahead, somebody ask what her piece means? Is the horsey flying over the rainbow?

That too is a matter of opinion.
Who knows what opinions will reign in the future. Some future society could decide that this abstract form of art is antithetical to a homogenous well ordered culture. It may be classified as dangerous and illegal. Stranger things have happened even in our time. I seem to recall that China restricted movies & books with a time traveling theme.
Or they could just decide that it was crap without being Orwellian.
